The referendum, the first in Ontario since a 1921 Prohibition-era
vote over liquor availability, will ask the electorate to consider a
new voting arrangement that would result in the share of seats each
party wins being roughly equal to its popular vote, provided a
threshold of at least 3 per cent of all ballots cast is met.

It would apportion legislature seats through a mix of local riding
contests, like those that exist now, along with reserving some seats to
be awarded according to a party's share of the provincial vote.
